About me
I will be on Maternity Leave from mid-November until Mid-March. I will be accepting new clients upon my return. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience helping adults find freedom and relief from depression, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, trauma and psychotic disorders.
Living with depression, anxiety, or knowing something isn’t right but not knowing what to call it can be overwhelming and feel defeating. As a therapist and a human being I have seen the immense strength it takes to make the first step to ask for help and support. Your recovery and healing journey begins with you, who you are as a person and your experiences. I believe that you have immeasurable tools and strengths inside waiting to be discovered. I have been a therapist for the last 10 years providing therapy to adults living with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, self-esteem issues and psychotic disorders. I also have expertise in supporting the loved ones of those living with mental illness as this can be a heavy load to carry and requires its own space for grieving, learning and healing.
My approach to the therapeutic relationship is person-centered, respectful, tailored to you and strengths-based. Open communication and collaboration are vital pieces of the therapy process. The evidenced based approaches that I utilize elements of are traditional talk therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, DBT, trauma-focused and EMDR.
I come from a background of running multiple integrated clinical programs, and I understand the needs of people from a whole person approach. Your mental health struggles do not define you, however they are a part of your journey and I look forward to the opportunity to walk through this recovery process with you.
